When choosing the Soul Subduing Secret Technique, one had to consider one's proficiency level. This was because once one chose a certain soul technique as the foundation, one would have to repeat the process of using that soul technique again and again in order to make the Soul Subduing Secret Technique stronger and stronger.
If one wasn't proficient enough, just using a soul technique would take a very long time, and there was even a chance of failure. Naturally, there was no need to talk about cultivation efficiency.
Just from this consideration, Lu Ye could only choose the divine patterns on the Talent Tree because he could construct these divine patterns with a single thought. They would be of great help in cultivating the Soul Subduing Secret Technique.
However, Xu Yuan was kind enough to let him go to the Heroic Soul Forest, so he naturally couldn't refuse. He would just treat it as an eye-opener.
Just as he agreed, Xu Yuan suddenly appeared in front of him and raised a finger to tap his forehead. At the same time, Xu Yuan's voice sounded in his ear, "Don't move!"
Lu Ye calmly remained motionless.
With this tap, Lu Ye felt his entire body suddenly float and retreated a few steps. When he looked up, he saw an extremely familiar figure sitting in front of him with a familiar long saber hanging from his waist.
It was none other than his own physical body.
Only then did Lu Ye realize that his soul had already left his body, and the one standing here was his soul body.
"Only souls can enter the Heroic Soul Forest, flesh and blood cannot enter." Xu Yuan explained before warning him, "You've just entered the Bright Sun Realm, so don't casually leave your body outside."
"I understand." Lu Ye nodded. Of course, he knew about this taboo. He had never tried an astral projection before because it was too risky. During the astral projection, not only would the physical body not have the slightest bit of protection, the soul itself might also encounter some dangers.
Compared to his physical body, his soul body was often extremely fragile.
However, this was the Soul Race's ancestral land, so there was no problem.
Moreover, at this moment, Lu Ye was only using his soul body to sense his surroundings, and he felt like a fish in water. Compared to this, his physical body felt like he was bathing in water with his clothes on.
Lu Ye really hadn't noticed this difference before …
Xu Yuan raised his hand again and a spirit light appeared and floated into the distance. "Follow it."
Lu Ye glanced at it and hurriedly chased after it.
The spirit light was very fast, and it shuttled through the space of the ancestral land, passing by one lotus continent after another. After half a day, a large area of stone pillars appeared in front of him.
These stone pillars of different lengths converged to form a large stone forest. When the spirit light arrived here, it suddenly disappeared. Lu Ye understood that this should be the Heroic Soul Forest, the Bright Sun Realm's graveyard...
Lu Ye didn't hesitate and plunged into the forest.
The Heroic Spirit Forest was shrouded in an extremely dense fog. Entering it was like falling into a thick layer of clouds. The fog was not really fog, but was a dense and pure soul power. Lu Ye could easily absorb and refine it.
This place was a treasured land for cultivating one's soul. It was much better than an ordinary lotus land. Even the Seven Coloured Lotus Land where the Starry Sky Pond was located couldn't compare to it.
Lu Ye looked around curiously. Suddenly, something strange happened. Not far away, there was a flash of light. Suddenly, there was an extremely vast fluctuation of soul power.
. Lu Ye hurriedly turned his head and saw a sledgehammer appear out of thin air and smash down on his head.
This attack caught him off guard. Lu Ye hurriedly tried to dodge, but when the sledgehammer fell, it had the effect of sealing his Soul. His Soul Body was unable to move as if it had met its natural enemy.
Lu Ye was shocked. Feeling the power of this blow, he knew he couldn't block it, so he hurriedly tried to construct a Holy Guard to protect himself. However, his Soul Force was extremely obscure, and he couldn't construct a Holy Guard Spirit Rune.
Lu Ye's face darkened as he realized that his Soul Body had come here. His physical body was still with Xu Yuan, and his Talent Tree hadn't followed him here, so how could he construct a Holy Guard?
Seeing the sledgehammer smash down on him, Lu Ye instantly felt dizzy.
It took him a long time to recover, but to Lu Ye's surprise, he hadn't suffered too much damage from this strike. Although his Soul still hurt a little, his Soul Body was already refining the surrounding fog to restore itself, so it wouldn't take long for him to recover.
Xu Yuan … there were some things he didn't tell him!
The power of the sledgehammer just now was completely from a peak Sunshine Realm expert. He couldn't block such a blow at all. If he took it head on, his Soul Body would be severely injured, and it might even shatter.
But now, it was only a minor injury …
Lu Ye slowly came to his senses. The Soul Technique left in the Forest of Heroic Souls wouldn't really kill the Soul Race's descendants. Otherwise, the new Sunshine Realm experts of the Soul Race would die every time they came.
The departed Sunrays of the Soul Race had left their soul techniques here for the benefit of their descendants, not for the sake of killing.
With that in mind, Lu Ye calmed down and looked to the side.
Not far away, there was a speck of light floating in the fog. The sledgehammer-like Soul Technique just now had erupted from this speck of light.
After taking that blow, Lu Ye even vaguely understood some of the mysteries of the Soul Technique. He even had a feeling that if he could come into direct contact with the speck of light, he should be able to understand the cultivation method of the Soul Technique!
Just as he was thinking this, the speck of light faintly flickered. Soulforce surged, and an identical sledgehammer came crashing down on his head once more!
Again?
Lu Ye was shocked. This time, he was prepared and finally had room to dodge. He felt this way, but in fact, he still couldn't dodge.
His Soul Body was injured again, and pain spread all over his body. Lu Ye grimaced and quickly moved away from the speck of light. Although the sledgehammer-like Soul Technique was powerful, it wasn't suitable for him.
Not long after, another speck of light appeared in the fog beside him.
Lu Ye suddenly had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, almost at the same time he noticed the speck of light, a Soul Technique erupted from it, turning into an incomparably huge arrow. It pierced through the air and pierced Lu Ye's Soul Body before flying back.
This arrow wasn't any weaker than the sledgehammer from before. It had the ability to directly penetrate Lu Ye's Soul Body, but it only pierced Lu Ye …
Lu Ye had the same feeling as before. If he could come into contact with the speck of light, he would be able to pry into the secrets of the Soul Technique.
Time passed. Lu Ye constantly wandered in the Forest of Heroic Souls, his Soul Body cycling between being injured and recovering.
He finally discovered a pattern. As long as he stood on the stone pillars, the specks of light wouldn't erupt with Soul Techniques to attack him. But as long as he left the vicinity of the stone pillars, he would definitely be attacked by the specks of light.
In just half a day, Lu Ye's horizons were broadened. He finally saw what kind of treasures the Soul Clan ancestors had left behind in the Forest of Heroic Souls.
All kinds of mysterious Soul Techniques were the proud works of the deceased Soul Clan ancestors. Most of the attacks couldn't be blocked by Lu Ye. This was obviously due to the difference in cultivation. He could barely block a few attacks, but in the end, he couldn't avoid the result of being repelled.
Any one of the Soul Techniques in the Forest of Heroic Souls had an unimaginable power when unleashed.
Lu Ye, who had suffered many losses, examined himself to see if there was any power he could borrow. With his current attainments in Soul cultivation, it was very difficult to come into contact with these specks of light.
Now that he was in the Forest of Heroic Souls as a Soul Body, he couldn't use his Talent Tree. So, he could only rely on his Soul Body and things related to it.
In the previous battle, the Soul Suppressing Pagoda was destroyed and the Soul Anchoring Bell was damaged. Other than these two Soul Treasures, he could only rely on the Rainbow God Lotus.
When the Soul Body left the body, everything in the Spirit Sea would be integrated into the Soul Body, and the Rainbow God Lotus was no exception.
However, the Rainbow God Lotus didn't seem to be of much help to the current situation. Or rather, it was passive. Those Soul Techniques only caused him light injuries and didn't kill him because he was protected by the Rainbow God Lotus. The Soul Techniques left behind by the Soul Clan ancestors sensed the aura of the Rainbow God Lotus and thought that he was a descendant of the Soul Clan.
Other than that, there didn't seem to be anything else …
No!
Lu Ye suddenly thought of something that he had forgotten for a long time. Because that thing didn't usually show itself and only existed in the form of an imprint in his Spirit Sea, Lu Ye had almost forgotten about it.
It was only when he carefully examined his Soul Body that he suddenly discovered something.
The imprint of Specter Ship!
This was the benefit he obtained when he first entered the Constellation Realm and explored Specter Ship. It had played a crucial role several times.
However, ever since he obtained the Rainbow God Lotus to protect his Soul Body, this imprint slowly faded from his sight. Because compared to protecting his Soul Body, the Rainbow God Lotus' light seemed to be more powerful.
This was indeed an imprint, but strictly speaking, it was also a Soul Technique, a Soul Technique bestowed upon him by Specter Ship.
Realizing this, Lu Ye's expression changed.
His knowledge and experience were far greater than before, so of course he knew how terrifying Specter Ship was. If he had known about Specter Ship's background back then, he would never have rashly entered it.
Because this thing was a Starry Sky Supreme Treasure!
The imprint bestowed by a Starry Sky Supreme Treasure was, to a certain extent, a Soul Treasure, but this Soul Treasure was different from ordinary Soul Treasures. The strength it could display was directly linked to Lu Ye's Soul cultivation.
What if … he used Specter Ship's imprint as the foundation to create his own Soul Subduing Secret Technique?
There weren't many options on the Talent Tree. The Fire Phoenix Divine Mark was the best choice, but it only attacked and didn't defend, so it had a slight drawback.
But Specter Ship was different. This thing could both attack and defend. When Lu Ye first met Li Shang, in order to escape his control, Li Shang launched a Soul Battle against him. As a result, Lu Ye used Specter Ship to teach Li Shang a lesson.
This was still fresh in Lu Ye's memory …
As for the difficulty of cultivation, although Specter Ship's imprint was not the Talent Tree's Spirit Mark, it was not difficult for Lu Ye to activate this Soul Technique. It only consumed a lot of Soul Force.
But once he succeeded, this would definitely be a top Soul Subduing Secret Technique.
Lu Ye's eyes gradually brightened. He finally knew what choice he should make. (End of Chapter)
